Pretentious white-people book-nerd rock
I would love to say that I’m back and that I will now give this blog the time it deserves but I know that’s a lie. I often ask myself whether it’s better to live life or remember it. I have had too much life to live lately and have not had time to document the amazing things that have happened to me.
I have struggled with the form this blog should take on. I often find myself thinking about this blog as “snapshots†occur in my life. These snapshots are just small events that I think are worth mentioning. I would love to take a photo to go with each of these moments but sometimes a photo couldn’t even capture the moment and sometimes the moment moves to quickly.
Wednesday was “pretentious white-people book nerd rock†day. After a miserable ride on Saturday I showed up for a 75-mile extravaganza. I was pretty nervous about being able to hang. It was a good ride but very hard. I did make it to the end. After the ride, a few of us were hanging out at MJ’s when the following conversation takes place.
Jana: I could do without this music.
Vanessa: I like this song.
Jana: You know what this is? This is pretentious white-people music… No, this is pretentious white-people book-nerd rock.
Kate: What?
Jana: You know, like the Decemberists
Me: Ohh, or the Shins.
Jana: Yes, definitely the shins
Kate: I like the Shins!
